would angels and corys work as tankmates for an aro if the aro is only 2-3"? i figure if you start them out together young the aro won't think of them as food when he is larger?
Think again lol. The corys might be safe because they stay on the bottom and are good at hiding, but anything that can fit in an aro's mouth eventually could end up there
i was thinking that angels have deep bodies so they won't fit in the aros mouth and as rallysman said corys are bottomfeeders
my buddy kept a 2.5" jar with 2 very small clown loaches and a small albino rainbow shark successfully until the jar reached 11" and tried to attack one of the loaches but backed off i think because the loaches have sharp fins, in comparison the corys are kind of armored
I have had a silver with an angel since they were babies. now my silver is 2 ft. and i have three angels in the same tank with him. they get along fine other than one aggressive angel that picks on everyone.
